Ari's POV

"Babe you ready?" Niall yelled up the stairs. I was still getting ready to go to the fair. I yelled back that I was going to be down in a second, finishing my make-up.

I finished up, and hurried down the stairs.

*At the fair*

Niall and I walked hand in hand into the park and I was super excited. I haven't been to a fair in at least 14 years. I went a long time ago, but I was too little to ride anything.

"What do you want to go on first?" Niall asked, looking around the park.

I shrugged. "I dunno. What's the best ride?"

"Uhm. . . I would say the wicked twister, but it's a bit scary at first." he smiled.

"Let's go then!" I said running towards the ride.

We got in the line, but it was really long. I sighed, leaning into Niall's chest. I looked at the people in line behind us, and one person in particular caught my eye. It was a 40 year old man, and he was staring at me, not ever breaking his gaze.

"Uh...uhm Niall?" I whispered, as if the man could hear me.

"What's wrong? Do you not wanna go on the ride? We can get out of the line if you want."

"No, no it's not that. It's just there's this man back there, he seems to be about 40, scruffy hair, blue shirt. Don't look now, but he keeps staring at me and he won't stop." I said in a worried hushed tone.

After a few seconds, Niall turned his head in the direction of the man, then quickly turned back to meet my gaze. "If he doesn't stop in about 10 seconds, I'm going to go over there and beat his ass to the ground."

"No please don't do that. Can we just maybe go home? I'm just really creeped out." I said, still clinging onto Niall's chest.

"Yeah. I feel better off doing that than staying here. It's really crowded here today anyways, we can just come back another day." I nodded and we headed out of the line, walking towards the exit of the fair.

"Wait Niall! I want to get some cotton candy before we leave!" I smiled. He nodded, heading us over to the cotton candy stand.

"Hi! How many?" the girl behind the counter asked.

"Just 2 please." Niall said handing her $2.

The girl handed us two bags of pink cotton candy, and we made our way to the parking lot. Niall opened the car door for me and I hopped in, opening my bag of cotton candy.

"Slow down there before you choke." Niall laughed. I chuckled, because I know I'm acting like a child, but you can't blame me since I never did fun things as a child.

We drove about 45 minutes, and I noticed that at every turn we took, the car behind us did the same. I shook it off, not bothering to say anything to Niall.

We turned onto our street, and once again, so did the car behind us.

"Uh Niall I think someone is following us." I said worriedly.

"Are you sure? Have they been following us the whole time?" I nodded quickly. "Shit."

I looked in the rear view mirror again to get a closer look at the man following us, and then it struck me. The man from the park. He's the guy. He's the one who killed my family, and now he's after me.

"Shit Niall!"

"I know babe, calm down."

"Calm down?! Are you being serious?! I'm going to be dead if he catches us!"

"No I didn't mean that I-"

Niall was cut off by the sound of shattering glass, and I knew exactly what it was.

A gunshot.
